ALBAWABA - Amid rising tensions between Syria and Turkey, several activists took to X (formerly known as Twitter) and demanded the boycott of Turkish products including a plethora of brands available across Arab countries.

Syrians who migrated to Turkey due to their country's circumstances were warned by other Syrians to "not leave the house," according to a post on X for their safety as they might get attacked by Turkish protestors. The photo of the post showcased a guy who seemed to have his head hit by someone while blood dripped off his face adding to the risk of going out.

Users took to X and voiced their opinions on the matter:

"A list of Turkish products. The weakest of faith boycott them."

"Boycott their tourism first, that's way more effective."

"Don't boycott the people who took in immigrants."

"This is the first time I've seen these products, it seems they're available heavily in Egypt."
